Black Bear Manor is super charming!! Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location is the best of both worlds—just a little bit off Main Street, so you’re close to everything but it’s quieter.

We arrived early, parked before check-in, and walked to a trail! By the time we got back, December had our room ready early (the best surprise after a hike!) Breakfast was great, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the whole experience felt easy from start to finish.

We’ll definitely be back!

This property's management is obviously more concerned about making a buck that providing any sort of customer service. Due to a wildfire in the area, I called the day of our check-in to request a cancellation or rebook to a different date. The highway leading into Ouray was closed and law enforcement was urging people to stay away. I was told that as I booked through Expedia it was impossible to change the reservation and that they had a clear policy of no refund less than 14 days out. I understand the need to do that in normal circumstances, but this was not my fault. I contacted Expedia and they were willing to waive the penalty and issue a refund if they could get consent of the property. The property never responded to Expedia which should be a warning sign to anyone thinking about booking this property. There are more customer centric properties to stay in Ouray and that is where I will look next time, I choose to visit this charming community.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We stayed in room 6. The bed was comfy, and the rockers on the private balcony were nice although it would be helpful to have a small table out there for our drinks. Not all the jets worked in the jacuzzi in the room which was disappointing.
The breakfast was yummy with perfectly crisp bacon. The property is a short walk from the main drag, so there’s plenty of restaurants and shopping. Overall, we had a nice stay!

The only thing I would have liked is charging capabilities at the bedside for phones, or in our case, hearing devices.

Other than that, although there were hot springs surrounding us, we took advantage of the hot tub. Breakfast was delicious, and much appreciated. The hosts were so nice! A map of the town is available. Towels and pool robes were offered for free, with the only rule to please return them.
We had a GREAT stay! Thank you!

Black Bear Manor is the best place I have ever stayed. The room (Room 6) is their best room, and has a jacuzzi and steam shower, which I utilized multiple times.

Also, home cooked meals every morning, and they will actually sit down with you and talk to you (if you want, of course)

When you come to Ouray, you have two great options for Lodging:

1) Black Bear Manor
2) Black Bear Manor in a fancy accent.

Book yourself a great stay at the Black Bear Manor

I cannot say enough amazing things about this place. Best of all was the service. Gino and Lauren both knocked themselves out to ensure that we were comfortable and that the room was in great condition, and that everything we needed was available to us. Breakfast (cooked by Lauren) was fantastic each day. We loved the condition of our room, the hot tub, the property in general, and even the BBQ grill. Location near the river was peaceful and cool, and only two blocks off the main street. If you are coming to Ouray, do yourself a favor and book a reservation at this place. Extremely satisfied. We will be staying here again for sure.

The stay was amazing! My boyfriend had never been here before, and he was amazed by all the scenery. The view from the window in our room was spectacular! It was located right in the middle of town with close walking to any destination. Staff was extremely welcoming, and friendly. The house has a very cozy, rustic, renovation look. All the comforts of a modern home, but the charm of an older, well kept home. The only 2 negatives I found were that the upstairs was quite hot, but I’m sensitive to temperature; and fans were, definitely, provided! The other issue was that I love coffee, and the coffee was so strong in the morning, I couldn’t manage to drink it. Overall, a great stay! I feel it was worth the value; and the hot tub was wonderful! Thanks for the great stay! Hope to come back!

Frequent customer

This is our 4th time staying at Black Bear Manor, however, it has been 6 years since our last stay. The biggest difference was the lack of host guest interaction. For example we had to ask about happy hour and then they brought out a bottle of wine. The next day there was a sign that said enjoy the happy hour and cookies, I am out on an errand signed Laura. Well come to find out Laura was not there and they apparently had the guy from the previous day come back. There were no cookies or wine that night. Then for breakfast the next day apparently since Laura never showed up there probably was nothing to cook for breakfast so they had biscuits and gravy and nothing else that was 30 minutes late. That was probably the biggest disappointment to our stay, the amazing breakfast we had our 3 previous stays was one of the main reasons we came back. The last thing was I guess it is early in the season but none of the outdoor furniture was set up so hard to mingle with other guests. Hopefully the new owners will take actions to make Black Bear Manor like it used to be because it is a great location were great memories can be made
